Design Variants Breakdown
These variants feature detailed "screens" that pay homage to classic media and trippy aesthetics:
- Poke Buds: A psychedelic spin on the Pokémon universe, often featuring "trippy" versions of iconic characters like Pikachu or Gengar surrounded by herb leaves.
- The Magic Smoke Bus: A tribute to The Magic School Bus, reimagining the classic yellow bus on a "field trip" through a hazy, cosmic landscape.
- The Twisted Zone: A nod to The Twilight Zone, featuring surreal, monochromatic, or spiral patterns designed to look like a distorted vintage broadcast.
Key Features
- Retro Aesthetic: The body of the pipe is shaped like a classic TV set, complete with molded "knobs" and "antenna" details. Many models feature an electroplated finish, giving the glass a metallic, iridescent shine.
- Ambient LED Glow: The removable LED puck sits in a recessed area at the base. When turned on, it illuminates the water and the internal "screen" artwork, making it look like the TV is actually on.
- Stable Square Base: Unlike tall, thin bongs, the "TV" shape is very bottom-heavy and stable, making it a great desk piece that is difficult to tip over.
- Funnel Slide: Typically comes with a matching 14mm male bowl that has a large handle for easy removal without burning your fingers.
Care & Maintenance
- Internal Cleaning: Use your Nine9 99% Isopropyl Alcohol. Since the body is rectangular, resin can sometimes settle in the corners. Add a bit of salt to the Nine9 alcohol, pour it into the TV, and shake vigorously to reach those edges.
- LED Safety: Always remove the LED module from the base before cleaning the glass with water or alcohol. Liquid inside the LED puck will cause the batteries to corrode.
- Electroplating Care: If your TV has a metallic/shiny finish, avoid using abrasive scrubbers on the outside. A soft cloth with a tiny bit of Nine9 alcohol will remove fingerprints and keep it shining.
